The dropped down into the underground chamber and found two storage rooms filled with gardening tools. They then went down another tunnel and found a connection to the sewer. Crossing the bridge, the team discovered half a dozen vampire spawn! Brutus was dominated and forced to turn on his allies with his flaming hammer! The group moved in to engage, and several flame strike spells from Malthus and Dario burnt the vampires into mist form.
The team chased down the mist and found the vampires recovering in their coffins. They staked each through the heart and decapitated them, sending the foul undead into the afterlife. The group then discovered another door leading to the Vampire Underground! They decided, however, to investigate a room they left behind them.
Entering the room, they found three upright coffins, four large clay urns, and an ash tree growing underground in troughs of soil. Radimir used true seeing and discovered the tree was actually the vampire they fought in the greenhouse! They pieced together that she must be a druid! Instead of resting in a coffin, she takes a tree form. Nyssa used dispel magic to force her back into her humanoid form where the group promptly staked and decapitated her. They stole her treasure and headed back toward the Underground.
